The advisability of prescribing these drugs to treat a latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be indicated by the hanging number of leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in the secretion of the gland or in pyospermia. The choice of antibiotics for prostatitis is made after examining secretions or semen
Features of your choice
Various antibiotics are used to treat inflammation in men. When choosing, it is important to give preference to those that can accumulate in the glandular tissue. This is the main selection criterion for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides, etc. are prescribed.
To choose antibiotics wisely, it is important to consult a doctor. In this situation, if bacterial flora is suspected, an analysis is carried out to identify the type of pathogen. At the same time, its sensitivity to existing active ingredients is determined. Only on this basis is preference given to one or another drug.
It is important to note that symptoms of chronic prostatitis are usually mild. For this reason, the patient and doctor have the opportunity to wait for the test results and choose an antibiotic that has a guaranteed effect. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by a doctor and after conducting the necessary examinations.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- rapid achievement of high concentrations in the tissue;
- minimal number of side effects;
- effectiveness of both oral and parenteral dosage forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs in this group have a prolonged effect. After ingestion, the active ingredient is released within 24 hours. For this reason, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotics are particularly often used for treatment. They show the strongest effect in the presence of an intracellular infection. In addition, this special group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis, which occurs as a complication of a sexually transmitted disease. The fluoroquinolone group of drugs has almost no side effects and is well absorbed
Without exception, all fluoroquinolones show high effectiveness in the treatment of typical infections. The only downside is neurotoxicity. Medications are only used if the presence of tuberculosis of any localization has been ruled out.
Prostatitis and the choice of antibiotics for its treatment
The dosage directly depends on the name of the drug and the concentration of the active ingredient. Generally, fluoroquinolones are taken in an amount of 500-1000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline drugs
Very often, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed to treat an illness. The main feature of the drug is its ability to penetrate the glandular tissue and accumulate in maximum quantities. In addition, such drugs are affordable and available in a wide range of release forms.
Antibacterial drugs are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are only prescribed after sensitivity has been established.
To treat the pathology, the antibiotic is prescribed in the amount of two tablets per day. The duration of therapy is determined individually.
The drug can be prescribed after a sensitivity test.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasma, chlamydia and other infections. They are well tolerated and have a high level of activity. Used in a dosage of no more than two hundred milligrams per day.
In addition to known medications, macrolides are used. Use 500-1000 milligrams per day. Typically, the maximum dosage is applied within three days of starting treatment. Then the number of tablets is reduced by half.
When using macrolides, it should be borne in mind that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, they are known to have low toxicity, accumulate quickly in the glandular tissue and effectively combat a large number of bacteria.
Drugs of other groups
To treat inflammation, you can use a combination kit containing an antifungal, an antibiotic and an antibacterial drug with antiprotozoal effect. This drug is very important for men and has also shown high effectiveness in the treatment of prostatitis. One blister pack contains 6 to 15 tablets of various medications. They are selected in daily doses and taken all at the same time.
The antifungal is effective against most prostatitis pathogens
This composition makes it possible to eliminate inflammation when identifying pathogens such as Trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma, etc. However, what is particularly advantageous is that this antibiotic is effective in the presence of Candida fungi.
According to WHO requirements, it is an ideal drug for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, the effectiveness reaches 95% even with advanced prostatitis and stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is well tolerated, is easy to use due to the single dose and also causes a minimal level of resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for the use of such an antibiotic are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation caused by sexually transmitted diseases, as well as a combination of prostatitis and urethritis. If there are no pronounced symptoms, a single application is sufficient. For men with frequent relapses, a course of five days at full dosage is required.
Standards of care
Specialists from numerous countries are working to develop an effective method for treating recurrent prostatitis. Most tend to believe that the duration of treatment for men should be at least two weeks. The patient's condition and test results are then assessed. Therapy usually continues afterwards. In general, the course should last at least 4-6 weeks.
To cope with prostatitis, you must adhere to the prescribed regimen and course of therapy.
For the chronic form of prostatitis, antibiotics in tablets and capsules are preferred. In this case, the dosage should be as high as possible. This is the only way to achieve lasting results.
The latent form of prostatitis is considered separately. In most cases, bacterial flora cannot be detected during laboratory analysis, but this does not guarantee their absence. This is exactly what explains the fact that when using antibiotics in men, pelvic pain syndrome is eliminated and the general condition improves.
At the same time, it is important to remember that it is simply impossible to create a specific treatment regimen for the disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and the variety of forms of pathology. For this reason, you should not take antibiotics alone, which have shown excellent results in other men. Only a doctor can choose the most appropriate treatment option in your specific case.
